The number one thing (actually things) that are under pressure every day all day long is our tires. How many RV blogs have a major multinational RV tire professional who reads and monitors the blog? We do, and now we have a major multinational tire pressure monitoring company that is also following us. PressurePro has …
Red Bay Makeover: Why go to Red Bay to remodel our RV? Why would we need to remodel our RV? Red Bay is the home of Tiffin Motorhomes. The people here have more experience with Tiffin Motorhomes than anywhere on earth. While here we performed our annual maintenance, fixed a few broken parts, and gave …
How to tow a car behind an RV. Almost all full-time RVers tow something. Our decision of what to tow was first followed quickly by how to do it. These decisions interlock. You need to carefully make these decisions. How you tow – what you tow is a question that quickly arises. For us, this …
Troubleshooting our Air Conditioner – I didn’t want to repair the air conditioner, I didn’t want it to break. If you own an RV (or any house) it will break. Here is how I fixed our RV air conditioner that broke as we left Las Vegas (where it worked just fine). This is not the …
Micro-Air EasyStart… RV Air conditioners are hard to start. The Micro-Air EasyStart fixes that. I need EasyStart to run my AC from solar. For us, it is all part of our solar electrical remodel and is the way we are going to get our air conditioners to run from our batteries. Without this EasyStart, running …
Snippet: Gen-Turi is the exhaust chimney your RV generator should have had from the factory. Very nice. In nearly all cases, RV onboard generators vent to the side, from below your RV. The Gen-Turi takes the generator exhaust from below the RV and puts the exhaust above the roof, where the exhaust is less likely …
So how do we like our new RV? There were so many unexpected nice things about our new RV. Our new RV is actually older than the RV we sold. Our new RV is a luxury RV. Since we converted from an upgraded camper (I thought of it as a school bus) to an older …
Did we get what we wanted? We have been living in our new RV exactly one week and we have already gained some insights into what we have purchased. This post outlines what we wanted and did we get what we wanted. Of course, the timeline of the blog is compressed and all of this …
A friend said the hardest move he ever made — was across the street. We didn’t have a street to cross, still, it was plenty difficult. To set up the move we picked up our new (2008) RV and on Wednesday about 2 pm and parked it right across the patio mat – door to …
We found our new RV. This post is a follow up to our changing from one RV to another. What did we find when shopping and what made this one a winner? First, this is a 2008 Tiffin Bus. We had very knowledgable friends recommend this model. Our friends are also on board for lots …
When looking at RVs that might be more suitable for our full-time adventure we, like anyone who looks at RVs, were overwhelmed by choices. All this took a little soul searching to define what it was that we really wanted. Like most RVers we have been looking at other RVs for a long time on …
This post describes how we went about selling our RV. It was shockingly easy because we had a popular RV in very good condition with low mileage. We were also in the right place at the right time and connected with a buyer that was specifically looking for our RV, the same year, model and …
We have many friends that think our RV is the Taj Mahal. (The Taj Mahal is a palace built for a princess in India.) Why would we want a different RV? We also think that our RV has the right balance between travel and camping. Why would we want a different RV? Our RV is …
What kind of RV? We are very sold on our travel style and our RV fits our travel style so the easy answer is — It works, why would we change from a Class A RV (bus) to a different kind of RV? There are other considerations but none of them really tilted the needle …
Tiffin Open Road 34 TGA Our RV is a Tiffin 34 TGA. There are lots of choices for size and type of RV for full-time travel. I think we were lucky to find one that fits our lifestyle. There is also a huge variation in price. You don’t need the most expensive or the biggest …
